Best pictures from the telescope "Hubble" (Part One)

Known publication The Atlantic published a collection of the most beautiful pictures taken automatically Observatory, which is almost a quarter century, is in an orbit of our home planet.

"Mystic Mountain" - a pillar of dust and gas, height of three light-years. Carina Nebula at a distance of 7500 light years from Earth.





Ring Nebula in the constellation Lyra much like the remains of a star like our sun. In the center of the nebula hot core of the star, which is called a white dwarf.



Sombrero Galaxy at a distance of 28 million light-years from Earth. In diameter, it is about 50,000 light-years.



Nebula Sharpless 2-106 is only a few years across. Young star in its center its activity creates a nebula an hourglass shape.



Unique galaxy in the constellation Serpens, named Hoag's Object. Across its length is about 120 thousand light years. Congestion in the center of old stars forms a nearly perfect in form of a ring of young stars.



Galaxy PGC 6240 rose in the constellation Hydra.



Runaway galaxy ESO 137-001 is moving through the other galaxies in the cluster Norma, at a distance of about 200 million light years from Earth.



Gravitational lensing in the galaxy cluster Abell 2218. The essence of the phenomenon lies in the distortion of the light emitted by galaxies. Spots of light - is not the galaxy, and the light coming from them. In fact, the galaxies located behind this light.



Retin-A planetary nebula, in fact, is the remains of a dying star, and is located about 1,900 light years from Earth.



Whirlpool Galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici at a distance of more than 23 million light-years from Earth. The star HD 44179 is surrounded by a very unusual structure, which is known as the "red box". "Hubble" dispel stereotypes and showed that a different angle structure mimics H.



Star Cluster Pismis 24 lies at the heart of a giant nebula NGC 6357.



Tomorrow sure to see the second and final part of the collection of the most beautiful pictures of the cosmos made telescope "Hubble».
